| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Whats Momentum? | Momentum is the product of an objects mass and its velocity. |
| Whats the Fomula for momentum? | m=pv. |
| Whats the law of conservation of momentum? | the total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless the outside forces also act on the objects. |
| Whats force? | a push or a pull. |
| What are the units of force? | forces are measured in Newtons (N). |
| Whats net force? | Net force is the total of all the forces acting on an object. |
| What is inertia? | Inertia is the tendency of matter to resist a change in its motion. |
| What is a Balanced force? | A balanced force is the net force acting on object that is zero. |
| What are unbalanced forces? | Unbalanced forces is the net force acting on a obect thats not zero. |
| Whats magnitude? | Magnitude is the amount of a measurement. |
| What was Newtons first law of motion? | objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity. |
| What was Newtons second law of motion? | the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of the objects mass and acceleration. |
| What was Newtons third law of motion? | for every action force there is a reaction force that is equal but acts in the opposite direction. |
| What is the law of universal gravitation? | the net force acting on an object is equal to the product of the objects mass and acceleration. |
| what is freefall? | Free Fall is the motion of a object when gravity is the only force acting on it. |
| What is Terminal Velocity? | Terminal Velocity is greatest velocity of a falling object occurs when the force of gravity is equal to the force of friction. |
| What is weight? | Weight is a measured force of gravity on a object. |
